They debate whether large language models can truly handle complex software projects, discuss the limitations of current AI systems in areas like synchronization, and explore the difference between human learning and machine pattern-matching. Along the way, they touch on the dangers of over-anthropomorphizing AI, the rise of “thinking tokens” in new models, and the impact these tools may have on junior developers learning the craft.       Takeaways:      The ongoing debate: can AI scale into true general intelligence or not?  The risks of relying too heavily on AI when you don’t understand your own code  What junior developers may lose and gain in a world of AI-assisted programming      Who are they?       View Scott Hanselman on LinkedIn    View Mark Russinovich on LinkedIn       Watch Scott and Mark Learn on  YouTube            Listen to other episodes at  scottandmarklearn.to              Discover and follow other Microsoft podcasts at  microsoft.com/podcasts     Produced by Hangar Studios Hosted on Acast.
